How will a medical mart help Cleveland’s economy?
In short, a medical mart will help Cleveland’s economy by bringing more visitors into the city and ensuring that those visitors spend money while they are in Cleveland. Trade show industry research indicates that average show attendees spend about $1,100 on hotels, transportation, and food every time they attend a show. MMPI believes that it is feasible for a medical mart and the new convention center to host many important medical trade shows and conferences every year. With hundreds and sometimes thousands of attendees per show, the direct economic impact of the medical trade show industry in Cleveland will reach millions of dollars per year.
